The Nomination Committee proposes that Mikael Smedeby shall be elected chairperson of the meeting, or in the event of his absence, the person appointed by the Nomination Committee.

Resolution on allocations of the Company's profit or loss according to the balance sheet (agenda item 9 (b))

The Board proposes that no dividend shall be paid and that the accumulated funds shall be treated in accordance with the proposal in the annual report.

Resolution on the remuneration to the board members and the auditor (agenda item 10)

The Nomination Committee proposes that remuneration to the Board, for the period until the end of the next Annual General Meeting, shall be SEK 270,000 to the chairperson, and SEK 125,000 each to other board members.

The remuneration to the auditor is proposed to be paid against approved invoice.

Resolution on the number of board members (agenda item 11)

The Nomination Committee proposes that the Board shall consist of five ordinary board members, without any deputies.

The proposed new board members are presented below.

He has held senior executive roles at Marabou, Swedish Match and Diageo, focusing on sales development. He has also been responsible for the launch of nicotine products in both the European and American markets. He is a marketing economist from IHM.

Anders Peteri's background and experience in the fast-moving consumer products segment with a focus on sales are well suited for the product development of Amplicon and for the Company's group business development.

Resolution on the Nomination Committee and the establishment of instructions for the Nomination Committee (agenda item 15)

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the current principles and instructions for the Nomination Committee that were adopted at the Annual General Meeting 2022. The Nomination Committee proposes the following amendment to the Nomination Committee's instruction: Upon appointment of the Nomination Committee, the chairperson of the board may be invited to the meetings of the Nomination Committee but shall not be included in the Nomination Committee as is the current wording. The Nomination Committee's proposal on new instructions for the Nomination Committee in its entirety is stated below.

The Nomination Committee shall consist of three representatives nominated by the three largest shareholders per the last business day in September. The chairperson of the Board may be invited to the meetings of the Nomination Committee. The chairperson of the Nomination Committee shall be the member appointed by the largest shareholder in terms of voting rights, unless the Nomination Committee unanimously appoints another representative as the chairperson of the Nomination Committee.

The assignment of the Nomination Committee is to present the following proposals to the Annual General Meeting:

  • Election of board members
  • Election of chairperson of the Board
  • Election of auditor
  • Remunerations for the board members and the auditors
  • Principles that shall apply to the composition and work of the Nomination Committee for the next Annual General Meeting.

Resolution on authorisation to issue shares (agenda item 16)

The assessment of the Board is that the Company will need additional financing to implement the activities that are included in the Company's business plan in the following twelve months. The Company's capital need is estimated to approximately SEK 15-25 million. Therefore, the board of directors intends to continue to evaluate possible alternatives to secure financing to meet the Company's financial needs, such as a capital contribution (such as an issue of new shares with or without deviation from the shareholders pre-emption rights) or a loan financing.

The Board's assessment is, considering the Company's financial situation and the current conditions on the capital market, that it is of great importance that the Board has an extensive mandate in order to be able to act in a time and cost-efficient way to pursue the financing alternatives that become available as well as the mandate and relevant prerequisites to negotiate with potential investors and financers. Therefore, the mandate provided to the Board should include to resolve on share issues with deviation from the shareholders pre-emption rights.

Therefore, the Board proposes that the general meeting authorises the Board to resolve, whether on one or several occasions, during the period up to the next annual general meeting, to increase the Company's share capital by issue of new shares. The Board shall be authorised to adopt resolutions on issues of shares with or without deviation from the shareholders' pre-emption rights.

An issue in accordance with this authorisation shall be on market conditions. The Board shall be authorised to decide the terms in general for share issues resolved in accordance with this authorisation and who should be entitled to subscribe for the shares. The reason for that the Board should be able to resolve issues of new shares with deviation from the shareholders pre-emption rights is to give the Board the possibility to resolve on directed issues if the Board deems that it is the best alternative to secure financing to meet the Company's financial needs.

It is proposed that the managing director is authorised to make such minor adjustments to this resolution that may be necessary in connection with the registration with the Swedish Companies Registration Office and Euroclear Sweden AB.

Shares

At the time of the issue of this notice, the total number of shares in the Company amounts to 26,460,512, corresponding to a total number of votes of 26,460,512.

The Company does not hold any own shares.

Majority requirements

Resolution under item 16 above requires, for its validity, that a minimum of two thirds of the votes cast and the shares represented support the resolution.
